And I finally get to see the Mr. in 8 days!! I can't wait to pick him up from the airport!!

Tomorrow I am going to the lake with my parents, and my second family, The Rose family! I am so excited!

It will defiantly be a bitter sweet deal though.. It will be a ton of fun and it has been a tradition for like ever!

But It will also be the last time we are all together before the wedding and the big move..

The Rose family have gone above and beyond for my family, and we have for them as well.

It is a husband, a wife, and a daughter my age. The husband had cancer back in 2000

and we were there every step of the way, He and my dad are best friends and were partners for the same

police force way back when lol

He beat the cancer and then he and his family were such a great support system when I was diagnosed.

They also took me in at a time in my life that I needed them the most! During college, I wasn't living

in the best environment. A home with 4 other people and every single one of them did drugs

except for me, on top of drinking, and parties, and fights going on in the house I just couldn't

take it, so for the last month of my college year the Rose family took me in to their home and let me stay in their guest room. The treated me as if I was one of their own children and made me feel very welcomed

and helped me get through a very depressing stage in my life.

I am so grateful For the Rose family and So I will make the best of the time we all have together!

On another not though, I got a TON of organizing done today with the whole packing process.

I went through all of my things and put them in piles of throw away, sell, keep and take,and keep and store.

Hopefully we can fit all the keep and takes in my car! haha I am so unbelievably excited to see the

Mr. though!! He is my one true love and I am so thankful to have him in my life!

He helps me get through so much and is so supportive! :o)

Ahhh!!! Did I mention we only have 2 weeks and we will officially be Husband and Wife!?!? :D

This after noon I was looking at flight prices to get
the Mr. home for the wedding since his leave just got approved,
and I found an awesome deal,
So then we waiting for his check to go through and

then when it did I got online to book the flight
and in a matter of a couple of hours the ticket had gone up!

It is still an awesome deal and all
but I hate that the flight prices just change like that
in a matter of hours!

It is so frustrating!!

I also hate how some military wives pull the freaking rank card...
Seriously who cares if your husband is a lcpl or cpl or even sergeant???
I don't get it? Is it seriously that big of a deal?
and what about Marines compared to Reservist??
I mean don't they still do kinda the same thing?
I know some still deploy...
Idk I know I'm still new to all this
and maybe it is a big deal but I just don't get it!?!

Do all Military wives belittle other wives
simply because their husband has like one rank over them??

WOW.. Ok I think i'm done with this Rant and I really hope I do not offend any one, and I'm not really a hateful person, but tonight I just had to vent!

Wow!! I can't believe the Mr. and I will be getting married in 17 days! Looking back at my calender I see where we started the count down at 82 days because that was the last day I saw him, and now we are down to 17!

Its so unbelievable! At the time I though it would go by so slow, and now i'm just thinking dang where did

those 65 days go?

I am so excited to finally be with my love for good and to be in the same state, house, and bed with him, but I am also extremely close to my family. So leaving them will be a little sad. I have just been trying to make the

best of the time that I have with them all!

I still have SO many little details for the wedding along with picking my wedding dress up!! Yes I know, I still don't have it and it is very frustrating! I had a lot of alterations done to it but geeze its been almost 3 months!

They are saying I can come pick it up on the 1st, which is 10 days before the wedding! I am just hoping

they have all the alterations done right!!

I also have so much packing to do for the big move! I don't even know where to begin but I am a HUGE procrastinator when it comes to packing. :/ I wish I could just snap my fingers and have everything packed.

Although it is mainly just clothes, makeup, shoes, and items like that since our house in California is already

completely furnished. I still have to figure out exactly what I want to take and what I want to leave for

storage though.

Dang and I only have 17 days!! haha

But, I absolutely can not wait to see my soon to be hubby in 14 days!! :)

It is 4:05am and yet I am still awake, because here lately it has just been harder and harder to sleep without the Mr. here with me. Don't get me wrong I am so very thankful his is not deployed right now,

but the time away from him is still hard and the distance is still far.

I completely dread the point when his second deployment comes around, but I know it will be coming, and that is why I am so ready to have [real] time with my soon to be hubby, in person where I can feel

his touch, and smell his cologne, and hear his heart beat as we drift to sleep. Not just hearing

his voice or even seeing his face through a small computer screen with a

crappy connection. But real time with a physical connection.

I want to have those times so I can cherish them and remember them for the time that he is gone for a deployment. June 8th just can't get here soon enough!! That will be the first time seeing him in

3 months, which I know compared to a deployment that is NO time at all, but the

excitement of our wedding on June 11th is just making the wait drag even

longer!!

Well, I guess I will try to go to sleep once again! :o) goodnight world!

Oh and here are some pictures from my last visit with my love during my spring break in March!!

WARNING: I am a photo junkie so there will probably be lots of pictures in my posts!

I had another blog called His rainbow princess, Her prince in camouflage, But I was not keeping up with it very well so I decided to start over! :) Hopefully I can keep up with this one a little better.

I am not "officially" a Marine wife yet, but I will be in 19 days!! We are getting married on June 11th. I am Sooo excited, I'm just ready for the day to be here and to be with my love! I am also nervous at the same time because I will be leaving my family, my school, and everything I know; to go to a place that I know nothing about, and only know like 2 people besides my S.O. so it will be a completely new life for me!

I want to have this blog to just share my experience as a brand new Marine wife, and trust me it has been an experience in itself already and I don't even have the wife title yet.

I hope every one enjoys and please leave comments if you would like!!! I would love any advice, and I love meeting new people so I am always open to talk about whatever!
